What makes a book 5-star worthy?
For me, a 5-star book is one I would want to read again.
My most recent 5-Star was The Saint by Penelope Sky 5 stars! Loved this series.

*grumbling* Yes okay, my initial bio on my #NetGalley profile wasn't very detailed, but that's no reason to not let me read your book. A few writers even liked my reviews of their books.
I *did* rewrite the bio, mind. Including favorite authors and sub-genres. #books #bookreviewing
Glad to see that The Seaboard Review is devoting this week's issue to #WeirdFiction, a term I like to use to describe the wide variety of horror writing, that takes in the gothic, uncanny, and surreal. #bookreviewing

Thinking of starting up a podcast where I review different books and discuss them. Who'd be up for listening to that? #books #podcasts #bookreviewing #TheRebelFae #promote
Absolutely amazing book review training from Children's Books Ireland tonight! Julia Eccleshare spoke for over an hour and it was inspiring, helpful, practical and wonderful! What an absolute legend! #bookreviewing
Following up after ruminating a bit more...
It's also possible (& just good writerly citizenship) to write a supportive & favorable review even if a book doesn't entirely rock your boat.

This is a gentle, slice-of-life fantasy (with mammoths) that qualifies as a comfort read, if you're in the mood.

I continue my efforts to get OUP to stop printing things in teensy-tiny font sizes, although apparently to no avail. #BookReviewing
I see my editor at CHOICE allowed my bad pun to remain. #BookReviewing
In any event, all book reviews submitted. Er, until Nancy Henry's new biography of George Eliot arrives. #bookreviewing
*stern face* I will now finish this book review. Honestly. I will. #ihope #bookreviewing
One review schlepped off to editor, one to go... #bookreviewing #yikesdeadlines
Downside of gardening for procrastination purposes: aches & pains next day. Might as well review instead. #bookreviewing #ow
